LibriVox recording of The Adventures of Gerard, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Read by Phil Griffiths.
These lesser known stories were penned by Conan Doyle during the period between killing off Sherlock Holmes in 1893 and reluctantly resurrecting him some ten years later. The swashbuckling, eponymous hero, Etienne Gerard, is one of Napoleon's gallant French Hussars, who considers himself the finest of them all. Through these "Boys Own Adventures", Conan Doyle pokes gentle fun at both the French and the English. This is the second volume containing eight adventures. (Summary by Phil)

This is an okay book
I can see why the public wanted Doyle to bring back Holmes. His other books are pretty pale in comparison.
Gerard is a French colonel who woos his ladies and kills his enemies with equal vigor. He rather reminds me of Pepe LePew, a bit full of himself. These stories chronicle his adventures in the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte.
I think Doyle got confused with this storyline. He wasn't sure if he wanted adventure or satire, and as a result, he did neither very well, just okay.
The reader is fine, no issues.
